Barra Blue

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien

11/2

Blue Bresil mare. Dam, lightly raced/little sign of ability on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (winner around 2m) Ruby Rambler. Interesting newcomer.

Form:

Corran Sands

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: David Bass| T: H Morrison

9/2

Getaway mare. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stays 25f) Quick Draw (by Getaway) out of 15f hurdle winner in France Sept Verites. Stable has a good record in this sphere, so she's worthy of respect.

Form:

Drishogue^t1³⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

80/1

10/1, well-held sixth of 9 in bumper at this course (13.7f, good to soft) on debut. Off 11 months. Up in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Form: 6-

Ebselysees

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: R T Dunne| T: Noel Williams

14/1

Champs Elysees mare. Half-sister to numerous winners, including very smart hurdler Ebadiyan, stayed 3m, and fair hurdler Ebadani. Dam placed on Flat. Makes appeal on paper and warrants a market check.

Form:

Hola Hermosa

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien

9/2

Diamond Boy mare. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (winner around 3m) Top of The Bill and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stays 2½m) Call of The Wild. One to take seriously on debut.

Form:

Longhouse Legacy^h⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Brookhouse

7/1

Cost £175,000 after getting off the mark in Irish points but hasn't quite come up to expectations so far under Rules. Needs to up her game.

Form: P15-4

Miss Appleberry

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Bannister| T: Billy Aprahamian

66/1

Cokoriko mare. Dam, placed in points, half-sister to fair hurdle winner/smart chaser (stayed 29f) Soll. Not an obvious sort on paper.

Form:

Moet At Upton²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jordan Nailor| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

18/1

Sister to three winners and showed some ability when seventh at Ascot first time out. Will need to build on that if she's to compete, though.

Form: P-7

Chocolate Hobbnob⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: Mrs A J Perrett

12/1

From a good family and offered something to work on when sixth of 12 in a bumper at Fontwell 49 days ago. Not a forlorn hope with the scope for improvement.

Form: 6

Habibi^h⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

8/1

Didn't shape at all badly on debut when 12½ lengths third of 17 in a Newbury bumper and probably best excused her next outing at Lingfield. Needs to improve.

Form: 30

Madame La Papillon

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁵⁾| T: L Morgan

28/1

Frontiersman filly. Dam, 2m-2¼m winner on Flat, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 19f) Doyly Carte. Worth monitoring in the betting.

Form:

Moonscape Girl⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: G Sheehan| T: P R Webber

18/1

Related to a bumper winner but was sent off a huge price and only hinted at ability over C&D on debut. A lot more required.

Form: 5

Prickly Rose

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Mrs P Sly

11/2

Scorpion filly. Half-sister to numerous winners, including useful 2m hurdler/chaser Fransham and useful 2m hurdler Takeit Easy. Dam (h128) 2m-2½m hurdle winner. Interesting newcomer on pedigree.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Hola Hermosa (9/2), Corran Sands (9/2), Hello Cello (9/2), Barra Blue (11/2), Prickly Rose (11/2), Longhouse Legacy (7/1), Habibi (8/1), Chocolate Hobbnob (12/1), Ebselysees (14/1), Moonscape Girl (18/1), Moet At Upton (18/1), Chattamento (20/1), Madame La Papillon (28/1), Takeachancewithme (33/1), Miss Appleberry (66/1), Drishogue (80/1)

HELLO CELLO is from a decent family and represents a stable with a good record in this sphere, so she's worth a chance to make a winning start. Hola Hermosa is one of two notable Fergal O'Brien-trained newcomers and Corran Sands also makes plenty of appeal on paper.
